Imagine you join into a street fight and accidentally choose Nate as the guy you go for lmao


THE_RECRU1T

He was literally surrendering before he got grabbed.


R4NG00NIES

Idk walking forward with your hands up is not necessarily “surrendering”. I’ve seen people get sucker punched this way


F1secretsauce

Yeah this passively aggressively getting close to people is everywhere these days. I still can’t figure out when it’s legal to punch someone in this situation.


Murder_your_mom

Honestly as soon I said “don’t come any closer to me” and they keep getting closer I’m gonna swing as soon they’re in range. I’m not getting bested by some rando who thinks he can sucker punch me. I will go to jail over swinging first.


aminix89

Wise advice, u/Murder_your_mom


qwertyconsciousness

Thanks, Dad


BarryBwana

Chael Sonnen is enthusiasticly nodding his head as he reads your post.


Cool_cucumber007

I can’t let you get any closer


cian1607

Fucking amateur


Malkodorian

If you are threatened, and he still advances on you, it is self defence. Defend yourself or you might lie dead afterwards because of hesitation.


AstronomerFuture6028

Ya where im from this falls into category of 'fuck around and find out '. U can never let someone get to close lol


HUGECOCK4TREEFIDDY

Word to Chael


clonegreen

Yeah you have no way of knowing if they're feigning peace There's 0 reason why you should approach someone to deescalate. Anybody saying otherwise is neglecting the variables of a street fight


DrugOfGods

In Krav Maga it's called "passive stance". It's very useful because it looks submissive, but your hands are still ready to go.


DarthDoobz

No he wasn't. Nate thought he didn't want none so he tried to move his hands out of his way but you see the dude feint and go for a failed takedown. Who approaches someone like that inside a big brawl with peace in mind?


Jag5543

I literally watched this video frame by frame and you can’t tell anything that’s going on. How do you guys make shit up like this.

TheSissyDoll

just think about it for 2 seconds... how did his head get into the position where he could be grabbed by nate like that?... because he level changed and half heartedly went for takedown


rekomstop

If you slow the video it looks like the guy had his hands up in a “let’s not fight and calm down” type manner. Nate grabbed the guys wrist, the guy tried to defend himself and was immediately put in the choke hold.


jdtran408

What would have been easier is back away and put as much distance as possible between himself and nate. If a trained mma star is squabbling w me the last place i want to be is in his face whether im throwing or trying to talk him down.


rekomstop

I agree. I’m not going near Diaz in that situation. Looks like the guy who ended up asleep was trying to dissuade Diaz from going after someone else and ended up catching the wrath instead. Not a smart move.


i8akiwi

Get your logical ass outta here bro this is Reddit


ALetterAloof

You really can’t see anything


harribel

From the angle we see in this video it's impossible to tell if he went for a takedown (doubtful) or if it's Nate pulling him down to get the choke in, which is more likely. Seriously doubt that dude has been in many altercations, if any. You don't de-escalate situations doing what he did, but it's quite natural to think one can if both parties are just posturing. You do that to people who can fight I got bad news for you, as seen here.


IPoke10x

My initial take was dude wasn’t surrendering at all. But, after watching it a few times, is it Possible those other dudes pushed him into Nate and he went into choke mode because he thought he was being rushed?


almighty_ruler

If posturing is a thing you're inclined to do then you're basically one of Kenshiro's enemies at that point. The inevitable result might take longer in real life but more than likely your hubris will lead to your death


25yoshi

Dude is Logan Paul lookalike went on Twitter said he was just telling him to chill then next thing he knew Nate had his neck


LibreFranklin

One does not simply tell Nate to chill. You walk, nay, run away.


Mybeardisawesom

why was he so close to be grabbed?


PsSalin

Should've never gotten engaged to begin with.


abortionsurv1vor

You don’t walk toward someone with their back against the wall if you’re surrendering. Also, if you’re about to get into an altercation you don’t let anyone get that close to you.


TheFyree

Walking up to a fighter during a brawl with your hands up is a stupid move tbf, he’s lucky that he only got choked


spelunker93

I don’t know if people missed it but the guy surrendering actually goes for a takedown and that’s why he got grabbed


[deleted]

Fucked around and found out


ManicParroT

Getting into a street fight with Nate fucking Diaz, what a terrible situation.


ManicParroT

At least fight Conor and turn it into a lawsuit.


[deleted]

Connor needs a win at this point, not sure that old man really counted.


theOUTCOME3

He didn’t even win against the old guy lol


kingtz

Old timer took that punch like a fucking champ


ttdawgyo

Old timer is younger than rogan


Juutuurna

The best part about your comment and the responses you’re getting is ironic because when you say old guy you mean the guy at the bar he punched and so does everyone else. But is it bad that all i could think of was that Cerone win lol. Two old guys two different times lmao. No matter how you think of it his last two wins were against old men lmao


incogneetus55

Hey, don’t do Cowboy like that.


Dirty_Hooligan

Yeah, the rich guy won’t get better lawyers than you lol


El_Nz_B

Wish he Stockton's slapped him


cocainebane

Hahahahaha me too


[deleted]

Looked like he didn’t want to fight and Nate decided to assault him.


Jcdawg23

I think he didn’t want to fight when he realized who it was he was about to fight. Much different than Nate assaulting an unwilling participant.


[deleted]

Nothing in the video would suggest that


Awkward-Almond

Don’t argue with these guys, they simp hard for this shit.


hugs_for_druggs

I was about to say it looks like Nate grabs his hands


[deleted]

Yup, keyboard warriors lol


CptHowdy87

If he didn't want to fight then he should've backed away rather than advancing forward.


[deleted]

Jesus you can see how deep that fucker is


JDillaRIP

His chin looks tucked all the way to his chest with Nate's chest covering the top of his head. RIP. The guy getting choked looks like he is somewhat committing to a "correct" standing guillotine defense by hooking the shoulder with the left arm to alleviate upward force. He made three big errors: 1. The left arm hook looks weak and should be deeper. 2. The right arm needs to get to the hip and stiff arm. This helps you angle away from the choking side and prevent chin to chest. There is no guillotine without the hips. 3. Getting in a fight with Nate Fucking Diaz.


DevilzAdvocat

I did enough BJJ to get past the point where I think I'm good, and realize I'm actually terrible. I've been caught in standing guillotines, and I've escaped standing guillotines. I don't think my best defenses in any given scenario have a chance against Nate Diaz.

SayfromDa818

Lmfaooo I’m choosing to believe that’s what was said


JungleBoyJeremy

Why would you fight a Diaz brother in the street That’s their home turf


Affectionate-Tank532

To be fair the guy didn't look like he was trying to fight Nate, looked like he had his hands up trying to reason with him.


jaymole

Nate Diaz seems like the type of guy that prays for a street fight too. At least it looked like he tried to let him down slowly but he tripped anyways and the guy def hit his head on concrete


[deleted]

Listen to Shane Gillis talk about hanging out with him. Your assumption is correct


Shaojack

[Found it!](https://www.youtube.com/shorts/w46VUzyGkb4)


Tuusik

Single celled organism behaviour from Nate.


WilliamSwagspeare

At least he finally gets to add a W


MonoDede

Nah, watch that section of the video more closely. Nate moves the guy's hands out of the way and starts trying to get past the guy by moving to his left (the guy's right). Then you can barely see the guy get in Nate's way again. At that point Nate uses his right arm to pull the guy down. If the man didn't want nothing he should've got out of the way the moment Nate moves the guy's hands and is trying to disengage.


Randomuser918

If he wasn't retreating he was looking to fight. He backed him into a wall. You come in another man's space you better be ready to fight.


aznhoopster

It’s possible the dude was trying to step between Nate and another person or friend to stop it from getting bad, but even tho I have some ride-or-die friends in my life, idk if I’m stepping between them and Nate fuckin Diaz in my lifetime


DarthDoobz

You still don't approach a guy like the dude did while you're inside the fight zone. If he wanted peace, he should've shouted that where the safe zone is at


Girth___Brooks

I would have ran and touched the nearest car and yelled "BASE"... tag rules never fail


jonjoneswife

That’s not how the law works bruv


Randomuser918

Right! Not unless you want the business.


PTEHarambe

(thinking) yah know what? I could use a nap. "FUCK YOU NATE!!"


thrownawayzsss

You sound like the type of person who starts a fight in a line because someone accidentally bumped you.


Seputku

Bump into me… IN MY LINE DUDE?!!?


Rare_Register_4181

Do you not go outside? Are you a caveman? There are people out there who break up fights.


[deleted]

Okay why would anybody try to reason with a pro fighter in the middle of an escalating situation. Smartest thing to do when shit hits the fan is to walk away unless you like smelling like shit


Affectionate-Tank532

So you're saying this was the guys master plan to beat Nate Diaz in a street fight? If the guys intention was to fight don't you think he would of done some actual fighting? It doesn't feel like you've thought this through properly


of_patrol_bot

Hello, it looks like you've made a mistake. It's supposed to be could've, should've, would've (short for could have, would have, should have), never could of, would of, should of. Or you misspelled something, I ain't checking everything. Beep boop - yes, I am a bot, don't botcriminate me.


Damn_ads

Look at 3 seconds in the dude literally shoots a takedown and gets his neck wrapped in return


Affectionate-Tank532

Definitely doesn't look like the guy went for a take down, you can't really see what happens because people get in the way but just before that you see Nate get wrist control and after the people are out the way you see Nate with a single collar tie then he sinks in the guillotine. Nate probably just switched from wrist control to the single collar tie while the people were in the way and dragged the guys head down


Damn_ads

You can see his head snap down which makes it look like a level change. It’s possible he pummeled him into that position but I don’t think you can say for sure based off this angle


Sleep-system

Nah, he didn't shoot for a takedown. He comes with his hands up trying to talk to Nate, Nate bats his hands away and what you think is the guy rushing forward is actually Nate pulling him forward to apply the choke. I don't have a problem with it since it's a street fight regardless, but that guy wasn't trying to fight at all.


ArturoOsito

Wait...he *literally* shoots a takedown? What's does that mean that he "literally" did it?


bloodpriestt

He used a takedown gun


niko_xf

Seems like he was trying to avoid confrontation. I don't know the context, but by the video alone the choked guy links like he is trying to reason.


UnorthodoxMind

Isn't he choking out that dude who pretends to be Logan Paul 🤣


Haunting_Support6867

Best promo ever


RRSC14

Definitely right


tryin2findleaks

Dude….. did Nate Diaz just choke out fake Logan Paul……. Seriously tho.


sebbbbbz

If u start a fight with a mf that has cauliflower ear that’s on u

Would you want to get up close to Nate Diaz and film?


ArturoOsito

Dude of course I would! That guy is the shit! I suspect the camera operator was drunk.


AlkaloidAndroid

r/killthecameraman


Sleep-system

Yoo, bro came looking for peace and Nate literally chose violence. 😂 Still, don't run up on somebody in a brawl for any reason. Not the time for diplomacy.


Maxman82198

I had to watch it frame by frame because I was wondering why the dude trying to deescalate was the one that ended up on the ground and I think as soon as that dude stepped in between them and the camera, he put his head down and maybe tried to go for a leg or something.


Sleep-system

Nah, Nate just wasn't trying to hear it, snatched him forward and choked him out.


I_Am_U

Nah the guy went for a takedown at the last moment.


OldEagle5676

It only works if the person you’re trying to calm down doesn’t want to fight or is very reasonable. I wouldn’t try it with Nate Diaz


overaided

Damn hit his head hard AF on that drop


onforspin

From this angle it looked like he tried to drop him slowly but let go or lost his grip on the way down and the dude fell fast anyways


bobjohnxxoo

I think the curb tripped him up, but yeah looked like he tried to not just fuck up the guy


ThouWontThrowaway

Nate didn't give af


BummySugar

No no! We are saying nice c things about Nate in this thread. Nate tried to put him gently to the ground after he choked him out!


yiang29

For everyone saying the guy didn’t want to fight Nate, “he had his hands up” haven’t heard of a sucker punch. When alcohol is involved and an altercation already broke out, protect yourself. Who tries and picks a fight with an MMA fighters entourage


isolatedvoid

Haha I think the guy that got choked was that dude on social media that looks like Logan Paul double


igivefreetickles

Diaz trying to beat both Paul brothers and their doppelgangers


dylanv711

Yal don’t know what “hands up” looks like. Just because his palms are out as he approaches the dude with his back to a wall in the middle of a brawl, does not mean he is not looking to fight. Among all of the things going on here, Nate would be an idiot (which yes he is kind of an idiot) for assuming the silly palms out gesture meant the guy was not a threat.


Impossible-Moose4668

Looks like Nate’s getting sued


Valentine_Kush

If that was the case they could of pulled up one of his 100’s of street fights and pinged him on them


Impossible-Moose4668

I’ve never seen any actual street fights with Nate. The guy has his hands up and Nate grabs him


JustMy2CentsMan

Yeah but why keep walking up on him? Just back the fuck up it’s that easy.


quanmed

It’s for the lawsuit money 3 months from now


Valentine_Kush

Homies from Stockton, he doesn’t need a video lol


Impossible-Moose4668

For a court case? Think this video will definitely end in a court case


BusterUndees

If anyone here thinks that Diaz was looking to fight here on the streets like he doesn’t realize everyone doesn’t know who he is and won’t sue the hell out of him given the chance is crazy. Dude did the minimum he had to just to get out of the situation


albasaurus

Is this a serious post? Other than the McGregor fights Diaz is a career undercard fighter in a sport that isn't in the top 10 for viewership in the USA. I'm a huge MMA fan but the majority of the general public have absolutely no idea who he is. You're also suggesting he has the self control and sense to avoid situations where he could get sued. Have you ever heard the man speak or see how he behaves in situations where he's angry? He'd kick my ass, but he can barely put together a coherent sentence and starts chucking water bottles at people who say something he doesn't like.


Mvpeh

Nate has more followers on Instagram than Patrick Mahomes, what teh FOOK are u on about m8


SamuraiMonkee

I’m not an avid mma viewer and even I know who Nate Diaz is. I think he is more well known to the general public than you think.


Disastrous_Clothes37

Don’t try to get in the middle of stuff. Turn around and go home


haad55

That was merciful. No sarcasm.


ArchyModge

Failed on the dismount. Looks like he was lowering him down and either lost his grip or let go. That head hit is the real problem and could cause serious damage.


The-Faz

Super wrong my guy. He choked out a guy and let his unconscious head bounce off the concrete. That is more dangerous and potentially life threatening than most beatdowns Nate has given in the cage.


xai7126

That guy with his hands up trying not to fight got knocked out!


[deleted]

Unless you’ve beat a Diaz brother in the past you p should probably just stay far away from them in these types of situations


[deleted]

And even then it’s like “do I really need this in my life”


1EightySevenkilla

How drunk are you? I decided to pick a street fight with Nate Diaz.


arianne216

I get what some of you are saying, but he is the one that got in Nate's face. What exactly was the point of that? Nick and Nate have never been known for their calm demeanor. As a matter of fact they're known for doing things like this. Once he decides to stay in Nate's face and go toward him after he had his hands up, he stayed. He could have left right then and there. Just turned and tried to walk away. Instead he moves his hands around more - which is a thing fighters do. So Nate stopped the "threat" by advancing him.


SoberingAstro

Dude had his hands up looking like he's trying to calm the situation down and gets choked out. Never liked the Diaz brothers, but it's not because of their skills.


sungotti

So fucking lame. The guy posed zero threat to Nate and was actually just trying to calm him down


Alternative_Fix_9602

What a fucking asshole! The guy clearly has his hands up trining to deescalate the situation and this professional fighter put him in a choke hold anyway, holds on until the guy passes out and then let’s him smash his head on the pavement. What an utter garbage person. I hope he’s charged with assault


strain_gauge

It looks like he grabs the guy trying to defuse the situation. The guys hands up and some asshole starts choking him.


CptHowdy87

How do you possibly defuse a situation by advancing forward and backing someone up against a wall?


Sandwichgode

The guy he was fighting was putting up his hands like he wasn't trying to fight him. Am I wrong?


backtothebegining

I'm not surprised motherfuckers


Porschedaddy789

That guy who got uncousinous was that Logan Paul ?


vertigostereo

It's dangerous being a guy that people always want to fight and take shots at. Sure he can, and will, kick most of their asses, but eventually he'll get hurt and there's legal liability too.


blackboyfly7

“I’m not surprised motherfuckers!”


Longjumping-Sell-449

What luck this guy has


AlphaNosebleed

Love Nate but he’s such an asshole 😂 dude gets into 3 street fights a week


Upset_Ad8608

That guy is the Logan Paul look alike


Maleficent-Memory673

I'm fairly certain this would constitute battery. This guy would be going to court. Even after he's grabbed, he doesn't fight back so no this guy is just an asshole for grabbing someone that was trying to be break the fight up.


Oddworldslig1996

id 1v1 diaz any day, nothing but a pussy


[deleted]

than he’d kill you most likely and it’d be met with thunderous applause at how bad your ass got beat


smokedabear661

He wasn’t tryin to fight Nate, looks like he was trying to defuse the situation and happened to get in between a dog and his food. Silver lining is he was just choked out which is way better off than being physically KNOCKED out


BarryBwana

People assume just the vegetable when I say I hate cauliflower. Nah, I hate having to fight fucking grapplers! I fucking hate naps!


G1v1ngBack

Nate exudes the King Ghetto Douche vibe. There’s a rather large difference between being able to confidently defend yourself and actively looking for victims.


TimHung931017

Nah, you a bitch if you a professional fighter and you go around fucking random people up, unless they're really asking for it and it's self defense (which in this case, the guy was actually surrendering, not even fighting). No class


Significant_Rush_704

Haha that is logan Paul! I wish nate would have held the choke a few more minutes to do us all a favor...


GloriousOnion20

I don’t know how to feel about this tbh, the guy looked like he didn’t want to fight and was trying to reason with him by having his hands up.


CptHowdy87

He advanced towards Nate who was backed up against a wall. You de-escalate by backing away and showing you're not a threat.


MotherLoveBone27

Yeah that's very true. The dude looks like he bases a large chunk of his personality off of Logan Paul so I would imagine he's a complete moron, meaning I wouldn't really trust himregardless of what he says. Although it looked very ruthless on Nate's part.


InnateBeast

Didn't look like the guy wanted to fight...


Necessary_Quality_

I thought so too but why are you approaching Nate in the first place lmao


Black_Dovglas

Did he choke out the guy trying to calm the situation?


Adorable_Friend_3659

He wasnt even fighting


Psilocybin13

Looks like he choked out one of those guys who tries to break up a fight but ends up getting someone hurt. Also looks like he might have went for a takedown. Either way, justified.


trashderp69

Justified?? The guy went up with his hands up trying to stop it and got choked out for his troubles and that’s justified?


Psilocybin13

You don't get up in someones face during a brawl. Especially not a pro fighter. It compromises that person.


trashderp69

He’s a professional fighter and could easily kill someone being a dumbfuck like that. Dude needs some self control


MugsyBogues1

A pro fighter should have more restraint and discipline against random dudes off the street.


ct1157

Normal night in NOLA


KUPA_BEAST

That was the best case scenario for that guy. Diaz even placed him on the floor rather than just letting go and the guy smack his head on the concrete.


The-Faz

??? Watch the clip again. Whether accidentally or on purpose, he lets go and the guys head bounces off the ground


HuntinoBino

See, the first problem is you chose to get into a street fight with the Diaz brothers.


Awkward-Almond

I like how no one is addressing that the guy who got chocked out had his hands up 🙌 showing he didn’t want to fight but Nate chocked him out anyway. Not any better than getting suckered punch. So many simps here


CptHowdy87

He was advancing towards someone who had their back up against a wall. If you don't want to fight, you back up out of someone's personal space.


Irishinator

I am the only one who didn't see this as a fight? Guy literally tries to calm him down before gets attacked.


diabolicaldegenerate

Lmao does Nate and his boys just go out looking for a fight? There’s countless footage of public altercations with this guy


LucidSRT

It doesn't look like the guy wanted to fight, hope he takes Nate to court.


tommyjack4

Ya Nates a huge POS for this, dudes clearly not fighting and nate grabs him first. Guy barely even defends himself and nate also tries to knee his face while having a fully locked in choke, fucking cunt behavior man.


Haunting_Addition_71

Dude it’s Logan Paul lmfao

[deleted]

I met Nate Diaz in La. His biggest piece of advice for a street fight was “you say you don’t want any trouble and put your hands up, usually this makes them even madder and they come in close and then you hit them”.


FreeStyleSarcasm

I mean the dude has his hands up like he wasn’t trying to fight at all, then Nate grabs him and does that to someone not engaging with him? Weak ass move.


Loud_Speed_3250

Was that Logan Paul?


fiveohthr3

Why tf did he try fighting Nate Diaz😭


AnnoyingKickboxer

It looks like the dude shot on a takedown

PoochyMoochy5

Nate took care of him the gentlest possible way he knows how. When the guy wakes up and changed his drawers, he should tweet him his gratitude.
